A deep 12-inch cast iron pan for cooks who want one pan to sear, braise, shallow-fry, and bake. With 3 inches of depth and 5.64 quarts of capacity, it holds a family-size braise or a full batch of fried chicken with less splatter than a standard skillet.

Care and seasoning: The skillet arrives factory pre-seasoned and ready to cook. After each use, rinse with hot water, scrub off any stuck food, dry completely, and wipe on a thin coat of cooking oil. Skip the dishwasher and long soaks for the cast iron. The seasoning builds into a more nonstick surface the more you cook with it.
How it compares: A standard 12-inch skillet is about 2 inches deep. The extra inch here gives this pan nearly the volume of a small Dutch oven while keeping the wide cooking surface you want for searing. Unlike nonstick pans, it can handle high heat and metal utensils.
